For a junk car in Inver Grove Heights, the answer is simple: we’ll buy it for cash and tow it for free. Offers usually take only minutes, same-day pickup is often available, and you’re paid at pickup with no deductions. Running or not, the car still has value.
Inver Grove Heights is a mix of suburban neighborhoods in the north and more rural land to the south, so we pick up everything from sedans in apartment lots to old pickups on acreages. US-52 and I-494 carry a lot of commuter traffic, and the hills around town are hard on worn brakes and transmissions. Add salt, cold and potholes, and many older vehicles here reach a point where selling them for scrap makes more sense than repairs.

From Apartment Lots to Acreages in Inver Grove Heights
We buy junk cars and trucks throughout Inver Grove Heights, from the neighborhoods near US-52 and I-494 to the rural properties in the south part of the city. Our drivers use US-52, I-494, Highway 3 and Highway 55, and same-day pickup is often available.
In the northern part of the city, many pickups are from apartment complexes and townhome lots. If the property manager has asked you to move a car that doesn’t run, call us with the building, the space and the deadline. In the southern part of town, pickups are more often from long driveways, sheds or fields. Tell us whether the vehicle is on gravel or grass, if the ground is soft, and if there’s a gate.
The vehicles we pick up here tend to have:
- High miles from commutes on US-52 into St. Paul.
- Rusted frames, brake lines or rockers from salted roads.
- Worn brakes or transmissions from hilly driving.
- Crash damage, hail damage or a blown engine.
Students at Inver Hills Community College often drive older cars too, and when a big repair comes up, selling for cash can be the better move. Running or not, we’ll make an offer – read more about our junk car removal and junk truck removal services.

Pricing
What decides your junk car’s value
Every offer is based on your specific vehicle, not a flat rate. These are the factors that move the number.
Year, make and model
Some models have parts that are in steady demand, which raises what they are worth.
Weight
Heavier vehicles carry more steel, so trucks, SUVs and vans usually bring more as scrap.
Whether it runs
A running or easy-to-fix vehicle can be resold or parted out, which beats scrap value.
Damage and rust
Frame damage, fire or heavy rust lowers the value of the body and parts.
Missing parts
The catalytic converter, engine, transmission and wheels each add real value when present.
Scrap metal prices
Steel and metal prices move with the market, so we price on today’s numbers.

Eco-friendly car recycling
Your junker, recycled the right way
A car left sitting in a yard slowly leaks oil, coolant and battery acid. When you sell it to us, it goes to a licensed recycler and gets handled under Minnesota environmental rules. Industry groups estimate roughly 80% of a vehicle by weight can be recycled.
Fluids captured
Oil, coolant, fuel and brake fluid are drained and collected, so they never reach the soil or storm drains.
Hazards removed
Batteries, mercury switches, refrigerant and tires are pulled and sent to proper recycling.
Parts reused
Good engines, panels and parts go back on the road, which saves the energy of making new ones.
Metal recycled
The steel and other metals are crushed, shredded and melted down into new products.
